Guest guest Report post Posted October 15, 2004 Sat Nam to All, I would like to know of a simple explanation to tell students about shaking of the limbs or body when you hold a position for a period of time.....it meets with such resistance and fear in many.

Guest guest Report post Posted October 16, 2004 Shaking can be described in easy terms as the nervous system repairing itself. You might remind students that when your body begins to shake it's a GOOD thing, your confirmation that the Yoga is working! Are you serving Yogi tea after class? It is a great soothing balm for shakiness and any discomfort that comes up with it. Sat Nam! Guru Ravi Kaur Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest guest Report post Posted October 17, 2004 I have described the shaking just as you stated, however, I have doubting thomas's that do not believe that. " What do you mean they inquire, it must be muscle fatique? Too much for the muscles?" Fear seems to come up. I just wondered if there was a more indepth, yet still simple explanation. No, unfortunately I do not teach in a place that I am allowed to serve refreshments, but I will hand out the recipe or perhaps have t-bags ready to take home.

Guest guest Report post Posted October 17, 2004 The difference between muscle fatigue shaking and nervous system shaking is that the nervous system shaking resolves, the energy opens up and you resume the exercise with a new feeling or strength, if you can follow it through to the release.....muscle fatigue, will continue to get worse until the muscles give out and you can't physically continue. For a beginner, it's often hard to go through to the release...so it's something they will experience in time as they practice more and gain more confidence in the process. When it becomes obvious that students are experiencing fear in your class...begin to notice your reaction to how they are feeling and begin to allow and accept it and include it equally in your field of sensing without judgement of it....and through that process the students will begin to process through the fear that they are experiencing when the shaking begins.

Guest guest Report post Posted October 20, 2004 Sat Naam I tell my students what Rod Stryker teaches to his. He says when you begin shaking during yoga, it is the body releasing itself of avidya -- spiritual ignorance. It is part of tapas, which is the purification process of yoga. ranjit k. >linda kirby <assortedbeings >Kundaliniyoga >Kundaliniyoga >Kundalini Yoga Re:shaking >Fri, 15 Oct 2004 16:13:10 -0700 (PDT) > > >Sat Nam to All, > >I would like to know of a simple explanation to tell >students about shaking of the limbs or body when >you hold a position for a period of time.....it meets >with such resistance and fear in many. > >Thanks! >Linda, Ohio > > > > > >_______________________________ > >Declare Yourself - Register online to vote today! >http://vote. > > > _______________ Get ready for school!
